chance against RRVirat Kohli’s next chance to reach this milestone will be today against Rajasthan Royals at the Barspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Given his current form, the landmark could be reached as soon as tonight’s clash. Although, the battle between Virat Kohli and Sandeep Sharma is one of the most one-sided individual rivalries in IPL history. In 18 matches, Sandeep dismissed Kohli seven times, restricting him to just 132 runs. This makes him one of the few bowlers who have been able to dominate the RCB stalwart.The milestone of 300 sixes is one of the many records that Kohli continues to chase:He recently overtook Rohit Sharma to hold the record for the most runs against a single opponent in T20s, scoring 1,188 runs against Chennai Super Kings. Kohli also holds the record for most sixes for a single franchise, having crossed 300 sixes for RCB in IPL and CLT20 in 2025.With his side in form and a milestone within touching distance, all eyes will be on Kohli as he has a dominant record against Rajasthan Royals (RR), having scored 896 runs in 33 matches in his IPL career, the most by any player against the franchise.
